Hi dear ,
why are you trying to shift on zaleplon ? Consult your treating doctor or do consult a psychiatrist if you are not able to sleep with 10 mg of ambien.Sleep disturbance can be due to many reason , just taking sleeping pills will not help.Detail history is needed to form a diagnosis and to treat the cause.
